Health research agenda for East Africa in the new millennium: looking ahead
No full textThe Regional East African Health Research agenda was presented as a
keynote speech during the first East African Health and Scientific
Conference, held in Kampala, Uganda from 28th to 30th March 2007. The
agenda was developed through a critical analysis of the global, African
and Regional East African health challenges and mitigating strategies,
taking into account the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the Abuja
declaration and the New Partnership for African Development as
background environment, within which the Agenda will operate. It is
proposed to: establish a joint mechanism for research coordination,
promotion and regulation; establish stronger collaborative mechanisms
for research and training; create a joint Regional East African
Community health research and development fund; create joint
intellectual property rights protection mechanism, enhance patenting
and link research to industry; create a mechanism to enhance
translation of research to policy and practice; strengthen clinical
research capacities; and strengthen innovation and discovery research
capacities. Effective implementation of this agenda will greatly raise
the profile and quality of research in the region and improve the
health status of the East African populations

Action Plan Based on the Factors in Studying at CDSGA as Perceived by the College Freshmen A.Y. 2021-2022
No full textAbstract: This study aimed to determine the factors in studying at CDSGA as perceived by the college freshmen A.Y. 2021-2022 and to formulate an action plan to improve the quality services of CDSGA based on the result gathered.
It is a quantitative research method using descriptive and inferential statistics to answer the research problems. The percentage was computed to answer problems 1, 2, and 3. The Chi2 was computed to answer problem 4.
The findings showed that the majority of the college freshmen students are from CDSGA and other schools outside the City of San Jose del Monte Bulacan got 10.2%. The major source of knowing CDSGA is Facebook which got 35.71%. The major reason the respondents chose to study at CDSGA is Quality which got 43.88%. There was no statistically significant relationship between School Last Attended and Source of Knowing CDSGA.
An action plan was formulated based on the findings of the study on the factors of studying at CDSGA as perceived by the college freshmen A.Y. 2021-2022.
Keywords: Action Plan, CDSGA, College Freshmen, Facebook, Factors in Studying, Quality, Quality Service.

Smokeless tobacco use among adolescents in Ilala Municipality, Tanzania
No full textSmokeless tobacco use is a significant part of the overall world
tobacco problem. When the habit is introduced early in life, it
increases the chance for permanent addiction and primes adolescents for
use of harder drugs, exposing them to higher risk of oral cancer and
other adverse effects of tobacco. This baseline study aimed at
providing descriptive information on smokeless tobacco knowledge and
use among adolescents at a time just before the ban on such products
was enforced nationally on 1st December 2006. Six out of 101 primary
and four out of 11 secondary schools were randomly selected in Ilala
Municipality, Tanzania. A total of 1011 students were randomly selected
and interviewed; boys (mean age= 14.5 years) accounted for 50.7% and
girls (mean age= 13.6 years) 49.3%. The prevalence of tobacco use was
5.9% (boys= 9%; girls= 2.4%). Prevalence of smokeless tobacco use was
3.6%, about half of all who have ever smoked. Most popular brand of
smokeless tobacco reported was Kuberi (44.8%) followed by Gutka (6.9%).
Twelve (41%) of the smokeless tobacco users were using the products
almost everyday. Among the reasons reported for smokeless tobacco use
were pleasure (27.6%), smell (17.2%) and taste (6.9%). However, 48.3%
of the users did not know why they used the product for the first time.
Smokeless tobacco products were branded as nutritional supplements with
different tastes and strengths, ideal for enticing the curiosity of
adolescents. Given the crafty practice of the tobacco industry and
salesmen, there is need for monitoring of availability of these
products in circulation and enforcement of the ban nationally and
globally to institute measures for effective elimination of this
harmful practice

Genuine and simulated suicide notes: An analysis of content
No full textThe present study examined genuine and simulated suicide notes aiming to identify the measures of content that best differentiate between the two. Thirty-three genuine and thirty-three simulated suicide notes were content-analysed and data subjected to smallest space analysis (SSA), a Multidimensional Scaling Procedure. The core of all suicide notes was discovered to be constructed with the use of three variables: expressions of love, positive construction of partner and apologies. Furthermore, four different genuine suicide note themes (‘planned escape’, ‘negative affect and self-mitigation’, ‘positive affect and failed relationship’, ‘lack of self-acceptance’) and three simulated suicide note themes (‘escape’, ‘positive affect and self-blame’, ‘purposeless life’) were identified revealing that authentic suicide note themes were more internally consistent and clearer to interpret
Continuous Sensing on Intermittent Power
No full textBattery-free energy-harvesting devices have the potential to operate for decades, since they draw power fromvirtually unlimited energy sources, such as sunlight. However, ambient energy sources are volatile, and tiny harvesters can extract only weak power from them. Thus, small energy-harvesting devices operate intermittently: first, they charge their buffers then start operating, which depletes the buffered energy and causes the devices to power down, letting the harvesters to refill the energy buffers for the next operational round. Classical programming architectures assume continuous power. Therefore, frequent power failures render them useless; power failures reset the computational progress and delete volatile data. Thus, the intermittent programming and execution paradigm has emerged. Generally, there are two strategies being employed to support intermittent execution: checkpoint-based and task-based. Prior checkpoint- and task-based systems tackled mainly challenges related to enabling efficient computing on intermittent power. However, they have ignored the challenges associated with sensing, which is the primary application for intermittent systems. Therefore, from a sensing standpoint, these systems have several drawbacks.Embedded System
